SENATOR TRAVIS APPROACHED As a Witness Hs Tells How a Myste rious Little Man Had Much Money to Give Away. New York. One hundred thousand dollars to vote against the anti-race track betting bills in 1908 was offered to State Senator Eugene M. Travis of Brooklyn, so he swore on the stand, testifying before the legislative committee. A mysterious little man. whose name he does not recall, made the offer in the lobby of the senate, he said, in behalf of former Senator Frank J. Gardner. And Gardner, he added, confirmed it in a subsequent telephone conversation. Gardner is now under indictment charged with having attempted simil arly, though with a lesser amount, to influence Otto G. Foelker of Brook lyn, now a congressman, but then a state senator. Foelker voted for the bill, as did Travis, and it was passed notwithstanding the frantic efforts of the raec track interests and the al leged use of a fund which previous testimony has placed at $500,000. Travis' testimony and the commit tee's efforts to subpoena James R. Keene and Hany Payne Whitney, two millionaires, whose hobby is horse racing, were the most interest ing developments of the day's hear ing, resumed after an adjournment on October 22. Efforts to find Messrs. Keene and Whitney have so far been without success and Mr. Lynn Bruce, chair man of the committee, is becoming impatient. Both men have been mentioned in previous testimony as having been present at a conference at Delmonico's at which the alleged corruption fund was raised and the committee is anxious to examine them. "It Is strange," said Judge Bruce, "that with the horse show going on Harry Payne Whitney, at least, can not be located. We have had sub poena servers at the show every day and evening looking for Mr. Whit ney or any of the others, but they cannot be found. Our men also scoured the field at the aviation meet without success. We have communi cated with Mr. Whitney's secretary, but he claims not to know where he can be found. At Mr. Keenc's office nothing can be learned of his where abouts." Travis story added two new names to the list of senators "approached." the amount offered him, he explained, was to be paid in two installments, $25,000 down and $75,000, after his vote had been cast.

IN- On Hot Dish and the Rest Cold Ss It May Be Served at Any Time and Guests Help Them selves. Informal suppers on Sunday even ings are the entertainments provided oy one country hostess for her friends, and so successful have these affairs be come that never is she without sev eral visitors, and. as the meal Is of a kind that can be served at any hour, guests have no feeling of being too late. The hostess has but one servant, and allows her to go out every Sun day. It is easier to do without any service than to have that which Is bad. the employer sensibly maintains, and declares that it would be de moralizing to work at other times, did she allow too much latitude tc the maid in the dining room on Sun days. So. after the formal midday dinner Is over and the dishes washed, the maid lays the supper tablo and then departs. Supper Is either cold or there Is but one hot dish, this being made In the chafing dish, and chosen with a view to not spoiling by standing In the hot water jacket. Curried eggs, creamed chicken or salmon, or something simi lar, is usually prepared, and Incident ally, should any be left over. It Is ex cellent for luncheon next day. Besides this hot food there is al ways a vegetable salad and mayon naise, selecting either cucumber or to mato. There is breac and butter and Iced tea or coffee. The dessert is either berries, other fruit, or a kind that will keep for many hours without looking left over. All these are on the table at once. There Is no tablecloth, but a center piece, a dish of flowers, and candies. Plates are not placed at regular inter- vale, but left in a pile, one at either end of the table. Knives are also together, and so are forks, two sets being at either side of the table to cave unnecessary reaching. The Jug of Iced tea and glasses for It are on a side table, and the dessert may be kept there also. The usual time for going into the dining room is 7 o'clock, but as tho supper cannot be harmed by stand ing, and there Is no maid to be de layed, the hostess goes when she feels like it. and from then on to 8:30 friends drop in. Each person help? himself as at any buffet supper, and there Is never an evening when all Is not gayety and fun. Such entertain ing Is no tax on the hostess, and she sees her friends far more often than she would under other circumstances. Since nutomobiling has become more general, her home is more or less of a meeting place and Sunday night sup pers have become an institution in the household. Green Tomato Pie Mixture. Four quarts green tomatoes chop ped fine, drain, cover with cold water, simmer SO minutes and drain again. Add two pounds brown sugar, one pound raisins, half pnurd citron chop ped fine. on tablespoon salt, half cup vinegar, half cup butter. Cook this mixture until it thickens. When cold add one tablespoon cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Put in jars cold and seal. This is a good substitute for mince meat and it will keep all win ter. Removal cf Rust Stains. Anything that will remove the rust stain will also take away color with it. One part of citric acid to one part water will take out the rust stain, but adds also destroy the color, therefore it is only suited to white goods. After ! "sInB ,h sn,"ti.n V'e rlnS,nff shouM be very thoroughly done. Sometimes a weak solution of nm menia and water will restore the color to faded fabrics. If you have a scrap of the blue you might experiment In turn with the acid and the ammonia To Make Jelly or Jam. Prepare fruit and place one quart of fruit with same amount of sugnr into preserving kettle with a little water. Let this boil ten minutes and then add another quart of fruit and of sugar, boiling all tfn minutes. Continue to add fruit and sugar, boiiing ten min utes each time. After all the ingredi ents are in boil the whole amount 15 minutes. If rhubarb is used with fruit alternate in above manner and you will find it Is very delicious. Messina Croutes. Skin six sardines, then remove th backbones, pound them with quarter teaspoonful mustard, two tcaspoonfuls chutney, a little lemon juice and yolks of two hard-ccoked eggs, add salt and pepper to taste. Spread on rounds of fried bread, sprinkle over with grated cheese, put the croutes in a hot oven till cheese is nicely browned, then serve very hot. Astoria Carame's.
